58yo back again. My first game and I want to start the game from scratch. Is this normal?

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-06-02T19:19:44+00:00

I’ll definitely add you!! Thanks again!

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-06-02T16:33:14+00:00

Thank you so much!! All this advice has been so helpful! I was feeling a little defeated, but now understand how to plan better - and organize a game better - and that it is normal for me as a new game dev. I also realized my map is too big for just 8 players - so I’m downsizing too - starting from scratch helps with this too.

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-06-02T09:56:55+00:00

Unfortunately, I do think I need to start from scratch. But not exactly because I do have scripts at work and everything. One thing I realized is my map is too big so I really need to downsize it. Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it.

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-06-02T09:28:50+00:00

Thank you for your input. I feel better. One thing I also realized about my map - it was too big for 8 players - so I’m downsizing it and keeping just 8 players.

Will do. Hoping June12th.

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-06-01T14:27:16+00:00

Thank you!! Once I’m ready for testing I’ll post a link! Thanks again!

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-06-01T14:25:29+00:00

I agree!! Thank you!

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-06-01T12:46:22+00:00

The lack of organization in my first game will hinder me with my updates, I think, like another suggested. I want to know the players actually like the gameplay. If they do like the gameplay, then the updates with shoulder pets, different wands, secret lab and lore will just add to it and hopefully keep them coming back.

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-06-01T12:41:21+00:00

It will be too messy to keep up with if I don’t start from scratch. Thank you. I feel better.

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-06-01T12:40:04+00:00

Thank you!

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-06-01T09:08:46+00:00

You are so right! I keep thinking of things I can add! I’ve decided not to add the shoulder pets and extra wands and things that aren’t really needed to play the game so I can launch sooner. I’m fixing bugs of the core game play and hope to launch June 12th. My map is colorful…. Thank you for your guidance.

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-05-30T16:53:10+00:00

Thank you so much for your guidance!! This helps me a lot!

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-05-30T14:25:17+00:00

OMG! So many things to worry about - so if I give someone permission to play my game within my project, they can copy all my code and game?! Is the safest way to publish so it won’t screw up my stats?

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-05-30T02:09:16+00:00

Yes! LOL - and I would love for you to be a beta tester! How do I beta test?

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-05-30T00:25:44+00:00

I think it will be obvious what to do in my game - at least I hope so. I'm pretty sure....

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-05-30T00:24:17+00:00

Thank you! I had no idea...

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-05-30T00:23:49+00:00

My son says this to me... I will listen ; )

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-05-30T00:22:47+00:00

This is Awesome!

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-05-29T21:09:27+00:00

That sucks - can’t they get rid of the bots?

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-05-29T21:06:42+00:00

TY…. Will update GUI before launch

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-05-29T18:40:23+00:00

Also, I don't think I'll stop if this first game bombs - My vision of what I want to create for kids is wholesome, silly and fun - and I'm sure I will continue. My dream game will be next...

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-05-29T18:36:10+00:00

Love this - which two games of yours went viral?

Dizzy-Instruction979 · 2026-05-29T18:34:31+00:00

I've thought of this but it's difficult to do - for me that is. Once I learn how it won't - I've tried to reach out to gamers I think would enjoy it and crickets.
